red team
A red team is a group that tests an organization's or AI system's defenses from an attacker's perspective.
A red team acts as an adversary to test an organization's or system's defenses through simulated attacks. Its exercises can assess detection and response as well as vulnerabilities, giving them a broader scope than a narrowly defined penetration test. The term originated in military exercises, where a team played the opposing force, and later spread to information security.
